Description
The Easter parade in the little town of Brantôme had seen many bonnets, but never one quite like this. Minette sat in the basket of her owner’s bicycle wearing a ribboned bonnet, her expression one of tremendous patience. The crowd cheered. The mayor tipped his hat. A small boy waved a paper flag. Minette blinked slowly, as if to say she had always known she was the star of the show and was simply waiting for everyone else to notice.
Whimsical and gentle, this piece is a smile waiting to happen. Give it to a cat lover with a sense of humor, a friend who sews or knits tiny doll clothes, or a collector of charming character figures. It sits beautifully on a vanity, a sewing table or a spring display alongside fresh tulips and painted eggs.
The details
- A cat dressed up in a pretty bonnet
- Whimsical, finely painted details on face, whiskers and trim
- A dignified, slightly put-upon expression full of personality
- A delightful choice for cat lovers and collectors
- Opens to hold a small keepsake
- Hand-painted French porcelain from Limoges
It makes an especially sweet Easter or springtime surprise for the cat lover in your life. Leave a single jelly bean inside for the recipient to discover, a small nod to the parade where Minette first stole the show. Minette would surely approve of being remembered this way.
